2025-02-11 19:51:10 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING
This claim is extremely misleading due to the nature of 1860 census data. Only 1% of individuals were listed as slaveholders, but 25% of households owned slaves. The misleading stat has been publicly fact-checked and corrected over the last several years. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/07/16/fact-check-social-media-post-underrepresents-slave-ownership-1860/7980243002/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2017/aug/24/viral-image/viral-post-gets-it-wrong-extent-slavery-1860/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1889316525032575033
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
